Trump's 2nd Inaugural

[Warbler]

This thread is for posting thoughts, comments, reactions, etc to the Inauguration.

I have one thought right now.

I have to say I am pissed beyond words right now. In the benediction of the inauguration, on Martin Luther King day, MLK's great I Have Dream Speech was copied, and I say mocked and defiled. What a disgrace. How dare they.**How*dare*they.

I will probably share more later, but I had to get that out.

By the way, I expect the War in Ukraine to end in 24 hours. He said it would end it on day 1, right?

# Taking Our Country Back

In his I Have a Dream Speech, didn't King plagiarize a speech made at the Republican National Convention years earlier?

What a sad disgraceful day this is for the history of our country. A felon is now President. Americans have put someone in change that doesn't care about anyone but himself, money and his own ego. He is about to pardon people that rioted at the capital 4 years. He lies like crazy and good percentage of people don't even care. A cult leader is in charge of our country, someone who people follow blindly and blindly believes his lies. He has insulted pows. He has been twice impeached. He has lied about the 2020 election. He has lied about covid. He has lied his political opponents and those that have opposed him and. He goes for the low blow. To say he fights dirty is the understatement of the millennium. He insults, belittles, defiles, and lies about anyone that does anything he doesn't like and he can't miss a single chance to do so. He has talked about terminating the Constitution. He has not rules out military force against the Greenland, and the Panama Canal(Canada?!?!). He probably committed sexual assault and at the very least committed sexual harassment(what can we expect from someone that brags about grabbing women by the p____?). A bully has won. Evil has won. Shame on all that voted for this.

I guess "your guy lost, get over it" is no longer in vogue.

See Archibald Carey Jr., 1952. The speech was formerly available in audio form on the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library website, but appears to have been scrubbed.

What makes you say that Rev. Dr/ Martin Luther King, Jr plagiarized Carey's speech?

From the Post:

The president, in his first executive action, rescinded 78 executive actions implemented by the Biden administration.

The rescinded actions covered a wide range of topics. The targeted actions were aimed at advancing racial equity, combating gender discrimination, addressing climate change, mobilizing the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic, requiring additional ethics requirements for political appointees, addressing the root causes of migration, lowering prescription drug costs, imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and the withdrawal of offshore drilling from certain areas.

Even NPR has an article on it. I thought it was common knowledge.
